the king of the coffee market, said to New
York reporter: "A year ago coffee was
worth S9.52 bag: today it costs So. Ihe
present price is not warranted by facts OF

The public lectures on forestry before
the scientific society Of the University OF
Pennsylvania, are attracting widespread
interest. Bernard Fernow, chief OF the
Forestry division, U. =. department OF ag'
riculture, was the latest to contribute to
this excellent feature Of the University
on Thursday. After referring to how the
removal of the forests from the hillsides OF
France had eau ed the French government
to spend CSC, ,OOO, 900 in twenty years to re-
store them, the lecturer told how the de-
nudation of the Adirondacks, in New York,
had left the Hudson less navigable now
than at any time in its history.
Mr.. Fernow gave some points that are
ever ancient and ever new when he said,
Taking into account fires and the waste
Of numbering, our yearly consumption Of
wood is not less than twenty. five billions
Of cubic feet. To produce this amount re-
Quires an area of five hundred millions Of
acres, so we'll stocked with trees as to
yield fifty cubic feet Of new wood annu.
ally. The area reported as forest foul
years ago was about five hundred million.
Of acres, but much If not most Of it, hardl,
deserved the name Of forest, 1t was *
thinly stocked. We are using probably
twice as much wood as grows yearly upor
all our vast domain, and thus squanderipl
the patrimony of our children"
It is not too much, as the lecturer sug
gested, that the country's face be sternly
set against the sale Of the seventy million
acres Of timber land still owned by the
United States. Let them be withheld
from sale and kept under government pro
lection to the end that some beginning may
be made in the fight for forest preservation
